A WORK FOR CHARITY.
1t Is the Poor they Wish to Help not
Themselves.


Themselves.
Editor LGHT:
Knowing you to be ready to aid in
every good word and work we speak
through you to the good people OF this
city, and voice our wishes:
We wish for the wands that Moses
had when he struck the rock and the
cool, refreshing streams gushed out, re-
lieving the distress Of his people, that
we might touch the hearts of San Anto-
mans, Influencing them to come for
ward, and help the work OF the Woman's
Exchange. Ii is not for self agrandiZe-
ment, nor for the "oredit OF starting It,"
that the enterprise has been opened. IL
Is an acknowledged fact, "that uneasy
Is the head that wears crown" so with
the officers OF the Exchange In addition
to the heads, the heart IL sorrowful, so
many applicants for work, so much
want and misery to be relieved, cases
that the general public do not meet, or
hear of. 1t Is dishesrtening when there
are no orders to give out, no way for
the Exchange to help. This work has
been started with very small funds and
even during this warm weather faith
full workers have been steadily trying
to stem the torrent of trouble, making
small Roadway. We assure our patrons
OF only first class articles. Preserves
have been sent in, which would suit
the most iastidiOus. Catsup, that is I'M
equalled; cake beyond criticism; beaten
biscuits that can't be beaten by any
body; and at prices that persons can
afford to be lazy this warm spell, and
yet afford dellcacies. We say "COme
and help us" hold up our hands SO that
we may win in this day OF battle with
poverty and distress. Rooms are open
from $50 a IN. to z p. m, corner OF Com
merce and Yturri streets over Morris
clothing store. ONE OF Us.

Mrs. Black continued, "will not result as

what Minneapolis is justly proud. The
location is a charming one, near the centre

ample grounds, beautifully laid out. The
Academy occupies large stone edifce
with frame bu Hiding only q
few feet distance. The property was
formerly the home OF Mr.. Basset, but since
the sisters have required it they have
greatly enlarged and improved it. It ia
heated by steam, has large comfortable
dormitories, airy, eight class rooms and
every comfort OF q modern home. Here
the pupils are made to feel thoroughly at
home. Their studies comprises all the
leading branches OF a thorough education,
and the young lady who has COM
pleted her. studies within this in
stitution is well fitted to take
her place in society. The sisters have
placed the term for board and tuition
at the extremely low figure of $50 per ses-
sion, and parents who have chill dren to
